The American Sunday School Union.

This old Society is renewing its
youth, and is doing this year, more for
neglected children than ever before.
1t has entered 1913 towns and settle
merits where the people had neither
churches nor Sunday Schools and in
evsry one of these places it has estab-
lished bible schools. Besides this it has
aided old schools in 1879 cases, reach
ing all told $4,000 children and
youths.
d. L. Moody the great evangelist has
this to say of the Society. "Your re-
cent examination of the operation Of
the American Sunday School Union, /
am more than ever convinced that there
is no work that brings quicker and
larger results, from the same expendi-
ture, than this. l therefore recommend
and urge all my friends, to give it their
liberal and hearty moral and financial
support, for it is doing more for the
neglected children OF our land, than
any other agency in existence, and with
great success"
This society is pushing its work in
Tennessee. During the past twenty
years it has organized more than $50
new Sunday Schools in this State; gath
ering in more than $1,000 neglected
children. And has given aud to $40
others. The great importance Of the
work may be seen from the fact that
the last census represents that there are
3S3,724 children in Tennessee between
the age OF Is and 20 who do not attend
Sunday School. Appeals from desti-
tute:neighborhoods are constantly being
Elade.

CAPT. Tom HYMAN, the popular auc-
tioneer, sold at the Exchange in this
city Wednesday the End inst, two
hogsheads OF tobacco for the Gracey
warehouse for the best prices OF the
season. Both were of the new crop.
One of the hogsheads was owned by Mr..
J. r. Miller of Logan county, KY, and
brought 1875. The other hogshead
was owned by Mr.. Ben Miller and
brother, also of Logan county, and
brought $l5.25 Mr.. J. Kropp was the
purchaser.
This is proof that our market is all
right and that if some tobacco sells for
low prices it is because of its inferior
quality. In cultivuting tobacco, as in
every other work in this life, it pays
to give faithful attention to the business
whatever it may be. Intelligent labor
always wins. There is too much shod.
dy in tobacco as we'll rs in society af-
fairs these days. A genuine article
never overstocks market, and the
world is not over crowded with honest
men in this booming age of humbug.

occurrence.

AN old resident of Port Royal re-
quested us to use some of the toughest
words and toughest type and some OF
the blacklist ink in this Office in rolling
the wheel of conversation around the
axle-tree OF the understanding of the
commissioner who has charge of the
swamps, ravines, mountain peaks,
gulches and rushing avalanches per-
tanning to, adjacent and lying near, in
and across the county road which
purports to lead and guide and support
the weary traveller from GAINESVILLE to
Port Royal. We promised to pronounce
benediction with spikes on it, and to
hurl in hot wrath quarter-section oil
Noah Webster's unmitigated diction-
airy at the head and'front of the often
der, whoever he is, but really the
weather has been so balmy and the
sunshine has shimmered down so gent
ly and so soothingly that we have not
felt like throwing bad word at any
human being on earth. But wait till
the next northern blizzard strikes the
city, and that road commissioner will
flee to the mountains of Hepsidam, or
even flee to Adams station as a refuge
from our wrath.

DURING brief visit to Guthrie last
week we were surprised to witness the
vast increase of business over the St
Louis & Southeastern division of the
L. n. road. We were told that in
many instances the track is SO crowded
with freight trains between Henderson
aid Nashville that trains have to be
s.de-tracked for six hours or more
Whiting for others TO pass. This is a
str ing argument in favor of new line
of the L. e N. from Henderson to
Clarksvlle and thence to Florence Ala.
as it would develop rich country and
relieve the pressure on the St. Louis &
Southeastern line which otherwise viii
soon require double track to carry or
its immense business.

An unfortunate affair occurred Sun

AN unfortunate affair occurred Sun
day night at the residence OF MFR. John
F. Taylor near Guthrie, Ky, resulting
in the death OF harmless old negro
named Marion Washington who was
living on Mr.. Taylor's farm.
The killing occurred about 8 O'Clock
Sunday night at the door Of the house.
1t was in testimony before the jury Of
inquest which was summoned by P. o.
Duffy Esq, that Marion Washington
started from his cabin to go to Mr.. Tay-
lor's and on his way he stopped at
another tenants and asked one of the
negroes to 60 with him. They went
together to the yard gate when the dogs
attacked them but Marion's compan-
ion knew the dogs and kept the most
dangerous one with him at the gate tell
ing Marion TO go on to the house, but
be sure TO call out before he attempted
to open the door or enter the house.
One or more OF the dogs continued
to bark at Marion as he entered the
porch and the noise attracted the at
tention OF Mr., Taylor and his son Ross
and young Mr.. Robinson who were in
the house, and Ross Taylor went to the
door and opening it called to know who
it was standing on the porch. He re-
ceived no answer OF any kind and clos
ing the door he went back into his
room and taking his pistol he again
went to the door, opened it and de-
manded to know who was there. Mr.
John Taylor also called out to know who
it was and no answer was given.
Ross Taylor, after again demanding
to know who it was, fred at the body
in the darkness and Marion fell dead
Ross Taylor, the young man who fired
tina shot, was shocked when with Ian
tern ne and his father and young Rob
ison examined the dead man and found
that it was the old negro. No explana
ton can be given why he failed to an
swer or speak, because he knew, as die
all the negroes, that no one is ever adj
mitted in Mr.. Taylor's house at nigh
without first telling their name.
No blame is attached to Ross Taylor
who is young man of irreproachablt
character and OF most gentle and anna
bile disposition. He sincerely regrets
the fatal occurrence, and especially 81
because he thought he was shooting
robber and not an innocent and inofien
sive old negro. He testified before thu
jury of inquest and all the evidence
shows the facts as above stated Thu
editor OF this paper was at Mr.. Taylor
Monday morning when the inquest wa
held, and knowing Mr.. John Taylo
and his son, he feels it his duty to state
these particulars clearly and correct,
lest rumors might go abroad doing in
justice to those men who are proverbia
for their peacefulness and who hav'
never in all their lives before be con
nected in any manner with an act o
lawlessness. All regret the unfortunate
occurrence.
